angela: you raise some really go...ligeia: thanks! <br /><br />angela: you raise some really good points. a friend of mine, who is a lawyer in her mid twenties and is 5'1" is constantly dealing with issues of being taken seriously enough and clothing plays such a huge role in that sort of projection/performance. i think a lot of people deal with these issues and this divide, of looking at certain way at work and a certain way at night, but my favourite jobs have always been the ones where i don't have to change the way i dress or present myself.<br /><br />and i love the pun! :)<br /><br />amie: aaah i hear ya. that is a good way of looking at it (fuck them if they won't give me a job based on what i look like) but at the same time job interviews and shit are ALL about first impressions and judging judging judging. i hope we both find good sources of income soon.julia aka garconnierehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10071915180423432468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6359847749721134501.post-30246728730770556962010-05-21T08:42:14.449-04:002010-05-21T08:42:14.449-04:00Gorgeous dress!

The length looks great on you and I love the buttons (they kind of make me think of a spine for some reason).<br />I've been going through all that job hunting 'what should I wear' stuff too lately. It's agonising sometimes! Part of me thinks if they don't like what I'm wearing and can't see past that then I probably don't want to work there anyway, but I really just need an income and if wearing something I wouldn't normally wear can get me that then maybe I'm being precious.Amiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13084139587852030601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6359847749721134501.post-67559511556438723282010-05-20T17:31:01.677-04:002010-05-20T17:31:01.677-04:00I've been working on ukulele lately, too. So ...I've been working on ukulele lately, too. So much feeling in such a little instrument. Thanks for sharing this song.<br /><br />I discovered your blog when reading through a series of links concerning debate over the appropriation of other cultures' dress. Yours was the most thoughtful compilation of thoughts on the matter.<br /><br />I've been thinking about clothing and costume lately, and I can relate to the confusion over how to present yourself. I have worked in an office for the last few years and though the dress code is lax in my particular office, I have built up my wardrobe to reflect that position. Perhaps part of it is wanting to "dress like an adult" as well as the desire to be taken seriously/respected, since I am short in stature and from a cultural mix that makes me look younger than I am. But my clothes don't feel like an authentic representation of myself, and at the same time what feels authentically me varies from day to day, sometimes quite extremely. It's challenging to reflect that seamlessly (ooh, pun!) in clothing.<br /><br />angelavicente.comUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00642505954064662231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6359847749721134501.post-66158708866262371122010-05-20T12:36:38.481-04:002010-05-20T12:36:38.481-04:00love your dress
